My NICU Graduate's Journey
Ayden was born at 36 weeks and 3 days he was in the NICU for 2 weeks after he was born he went straight to the nicu and they had a bunch of tubes attached to him. He was born on a Monday and by Wednesday it’s like he was declining and required more help to breathe. After that he just gotten better and better except his weight he was dropping weight until he turned 2 months he stayed dropping from 5lbs 11oz , 5Lbs 8oz , to 5lbs 6oz. And when he was 2 months he was 10lbs .

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
What makes me proud of my NICU baby is everyone kept saying he’s going to be delayed in everything but he’s my little Hercules. He’s proven them wrong always he started walking on time, crawling on time. He’s little but mighty strong! He’s a fighter.
